Morrish Pom Skater 2.0 - Nightshade

One of the keys to its success was a large buoyant head and slender low-riding, rear body. These design elements combined with an absence of large wings or bushy hackles made a fly that was rather “sticky” on the water’s surface.  This means when a fish charged it, the water they displaced didn't push the fly away leading to a missed eat. Best yet, the Pom always skated well and rarely dipped under or twisted. The original was tied on an old-school heavy wire TMC hook and when that hook was discontinued, so too was mass production of the fly. With that said, people still wanted the fly so I re-created it on a nice, new Ahrex hook, added a sighter, a few hot spots, and black and blue version that will likely become the best-selling color.
